I have had a overall okay experience in my school, I felt that my academic experience was the best because I was lucky enough to have great teachers who cared and helped me excel in both my strengths and my weak areas. Stuff I feel like could be improved is our lunches and how in depth they go into the applying for college process because I felt like I wasn't sure where to start when applying for scholarships, it also wouldn't hurt to stress the importance of researching colleges as eary as freshman and sophomore year
